Photo of TMALGERIMAGIC - The Goblin King TMALGERIMAGIC - The Goblin King "He came for my daughter's 6th birthday and all the kids loved him. He worked really hard and all the children were engaged and enjoyed the show. They loved the magic ball, tricks and balloon modelling. Thanks again, you were brilliant." Based in Blackpool, England Louise Jeffreys - 6th Birthday Photo of Lookalikes magic Lookalikes magic "we have just returned from a five day cruise which was 1st class especially the team of entertainers. The Laurel and Hardy Tribute Act were absolutely wonderful mixing with passengers, providing non stop close up magic all day every day .and all in character. Some of the reactions to their skills produced the best photographs, especially from the dance team leader who could not believe what she saw happen with her very eyes. A magical moment to treasure . I believe there are one or two pictures on Rob Grahams Facebook file" Based in Southport, England (12 miles from Blackpool) David Whittam - cruise entertainment Photo of Scoop Magic Scoop Magic "Brilliant entertainer."

Thank you so much again 5* and more!" Based in Wigan, England (25 miles from Blackpool) Katie nelson Photo of Ian McCoy Ian McCoy "The Best entertainer in the UK - 5 stars. "If you are thinking of using Ian for your event so not hesitate or waste any more time thinking and reading reviews... Just book him!!! Ian is down to earth whilst completely professional. He's funny, relaxed and looks the part whatever the event requires. Ian absolutely blew us away at our wedding and our guests will not stop talking about him! His close up magic is on another level, real magic! Honestly we were utterly amazed. He entertained the children for hours, and they were hooked. It made people laugh and relax. It brought together different friends and family to break the ice. He did a little stand up with us as bride and groom with mentalism and we still can't work out how on earth he knew what we were thinking!! Book him today"" Based in Wallasey, England (27 miles from Blackpool) 21st September 2026 Ceri Dowdal - wedding Photo of Pete Hopkins Magic Pete Hopkins Magic "First time booking a magician for an event and Pete was fantastic. Importantly to me, good comms throughout the booking process and transparent pricing options. His work went down a treat across the evening and every guest was positively impressed and remarked how good his performance was. 10/10" Based in St Helens, England (28 miles from Blackpool) Louis - 30th birthday
